Prolactin Test Overview
Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a crucial role in milk production after childbirth. The prolactin test measures the amount of prolactin circulating in your blood. Doctors order this test to investigate a variety of conditions because abnormally high or low prolactin levels can disrupt various bodily functions. These functions include regulating menstrual cycles, fertility in both men and women and sexual function in men. The test helps identify potential causes of menstrual irregularities, infertility, impotence, and a milky discharge from the breast (galactorrhea) that's not related to breastfeeding. Additionally, elevated prolactin can sometimes indicate the presence of a tumor in the pituitary gland.
